PostgraduateCourse summary
The Master of Letters (MLitt) in Fine Art Practice is a postgraduate programme in the School of Fine Art at GSA. It is a one-year taught programme, with the following disciplinary pathways: • Painting, Drawing and Print Media • Photography and the Moving Image • Sculpture and Performance Applicants to the MLitt in Fine Art Practice will identify in advance which pathway they would like to study. Students will be based within, and supported by, staff from the School of Fine Art. The programme is studio-based and centred on practice, and intended to provide opportunities for students to pursue in-depth study in fine art practice at postgraduate level. Applicants to the MLitt in Fine Art Practice will normally submit a portfolio of their recent work accompanied by an outline programme of study proposal for the chosen pathway (up to 500 words). This proposal will form the basis of a developing practice and research programme of study. This proposal will be reconsidered and re-configured through critical reflection at all three stages of the programme. The programme promotes and develops the importance of self-directed practice and learning. Over the year each student will progress through 3 stages of studio practice: • Origination (in which the first exploration of the content and themes are made); • Investigation (in which testing, sampling and experimentation are key); • Consolidation (the resolution of a cohesive body of work). Students on the programme will study within their specialist area, supported through tutorials, critiques, and specifically focused lectures and seminars. They will also have the opportunity to interact with peers from other subject areas of the programme, principally through lectures and workshops that address research methods and other more generic, conceptual and philosophical issues. A balanced curriculum will ensure that students are able to fully devote themselves to their chosen field of study, whilst supporting their learning through the provision of a range of interdisciplinary opportunities for critical reflection and personal development.
